A bubble is formed by people not necessarily from the same household who agree to create a group in which physical distancing measures are not mandatory. The number of people allowed in a bubble can vary from one place to another. However, a bubble is a closed group; that is, once the bubble is formed, its members cannot change and they cannot be part of another bubble. 2, record 1, English, - bubble
